Dd's pony trotted up a bit lame on Saturday - off hind fetlock slightly swollen and warm. Hosed it off and turned her out -she can't be boxed - goes completely ballistic and would make it worse if we tried.
No better today - hosed 3 times. Yard owner says we should rest and hose for the next few days and she will probably be OK - if not call the vet. Do you agree? Or should we get the vet sooner? Or what? I'm a bit worried because it's her fetlock - I know that fetlock injuries can be serious, but the yard owner doesn't seem worried. Am I over reacting?
